Take a place that is cold, wet, foggy, or cloudy most every day, in so many words generally miserable, and you will have the people who have a temperament to play golf.
Behold the evolution of Comic Strips.—With nine panels, any other cartoonist would have made this a Sunday strip. But Wiley is taking advantage of the fact a lot (if not most) people read comics online. So he doesn’t have to worry how small a panel will reproduce on a newspaper page, and can put three times as many panels as usually seen in a daily strip.(Insert applause here.)
I can totally relate to this. I took golf lessons at 15 and what little game I has was ruined because I started thinking about what I was doing instead of just doing it. Haven’t played a hole in nearly 40 years because I can find lots of other ways to raise my blood pressure without having to pay green fees.
My late uncle was a decent amateur tennis player and had no use for golf. One of his business partners kept nagging him about joining in with the others, so he finally went. He played a perfect game, several ‘holes in one’ (hole in ones? whatever.)-After the game, he told the guys, “Okay, that’s it. I never need to play again. I won.”-And they never invited him again…

Looks like “frustration and swearing” “evolved” before humans…. That’s food for thought…

A million years of evolution and the only change is that golfers don’t dress as well.

This is what happens when you abandon your hunter/gatherer duties, you get to eat (whatever that is on the end of the stick).

Single handed golf and he makes it in one? Either ‘dumb luck’ or ?
